Low Budget Thrills
Pawn is a low budget crime thriller set in a diner which is robbed. But the robbers have bitten off a little bit more than they can chew and events quickly spiral out of control as it turns out the diner they have robbed is owned by a mafia guy.
That's all I can tell you without spoiling the plot and that's the best way to go into this movie - knowing as little as possible.
The opening sequence sets the movie up nicely for what later unfolds to be a highly entertaining watch full of deception, conspiracy and twists aplenty. It's tense and keeps you hooked right through until the closing credits.
The best part of this film is the fact that just when you think you're getting to grips with what's happening, you're hit with another twist.
The cast is strong with quite a few recognizable faces putting in good performances to contribute to a solid and well constructed script. The majority of the movie takes place inside the diner but there is enough going on within those walls to mask this fact.
Overall, I enjoyed this film. I went in knowing very little and came out very impressed. I was entertained from start to finish which is all you can really ask for.
Pawn will not win any awards, but if a good entertaining thriller is your thing then you will not be disappointed 3.5/5
